G
After three nights in jail, I head north from Toyahvale.

Am7                                     G
Switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff.

G
My walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold

     G
but I feel like I'm all of sixteen years old.

Am7                                                         G
Lost in the travel lodge, with the television on with the sound down, I don't feel so tough...

C               D      G
Old issues of sunset magazine to read.

                    C  D                 G
Sleep for twelve hours, and dream about home.

G
I have no place to go, so I drive up to New Mexico.

Am7                                           G
Fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the state line.

G
And I panic I guess, and although it's quite late, I take the first exit to 128.

    Am7                                        G
I am coming back to Midland. I hope you won't mind.

C                 D       G
Polaroids of the two of us scattered on the passenger's seat.

         C          D                        G
I drive slowly and evenly and I dream about home.
